Review Dogs 126 def Tigers 71

[Dogsman16]

Williams is strong overhead and Poulter, Bont and English are all 194cm plus.

We don’t need 3 KPDs. Those players mentioned can work back hard and provide cover.

Much rather cleaner ball use and speed to break the lines and give our forwards good looks.

This team is the Harvey Dent of the AFL

Celebrate the good, endure the bad

Bonty is incredible. By far and away the best I have ever seen in the red white and blue.

Let’s hope we make the right and turn it on for 4 weeks on the trot

True

 

[grassman75]

The best thing is in 20 odd years we’re gonna see another Bont running around without a doubt, get breeding son

There could be another 30 Bailey Smith's running around before then if the amount of young ladies on insta all follow through with their requests....

 

[grassman75]

Brett should’ve sang the song with us……imagine the melts

Oh I'm sure there will be some memes come out....

 

[grassman75]

Its a shame he left a few relatively easy ones out on the field.

If there was any doubt he's arrived in a big way and will only get better from here.

And there seems to be a real camaraderie between him, Naughty and Flea. None of them are leaving anytime soon. Bookmark it

 

[Dogman 1]

Just hope we keep winning like that and don't drop a game to hawks or Eagles, which is what could happen with us. Would undo all the good work. Great effort last night, play like that and we shouldn't drop another game.

 

[Munnez]

Don’t wish injury on anyone but can Daicos get some hammy awareness and miss a few weeks to give Bont a shot at the Brownlow? Daicos now $1.8 and Bont $4.

Nek Minnet Petracca comes from the clouds to take it out

 

[House_of_Dahl]

Must be a pretty big piece to have the tips poking out either side of his guernsey

Just a one letter typo would do wonders for this sentence

 

[grassman75]

Wow, probably nearly 20 non scores too, considering he goes at about 35%

That’s a crazy amount of shots on goal, a league average 55% has him sitting at 45+ in his 3rd year, with 3 games to go (against 2 of the bottom 3 teams too)

I think he's still tracking ahead of where Buddy was at the same age. If someone has a comparison it would be good to see

 

[Next Waiting]

Bevo has consistently referenced the Freo game in Round 6 as the way we want to play.

A memorable game for the style and emphatic nature of the win and JJ's Mrs post game Roaming Brian interview

Line up for that Freo game below



And last night's line up



Spot the difference

VDM for TOB
JOD for Keath
Poulter for Baker
Smith for McLean
West for Jones

That was Franklin's 4th season not 3rd

I just put in the same age comparison.

 

[Sentinel]

That was Franklin's 4th season not 3rd

The question was comparing Buddy when he was the same age as Jamarra, which was 2008 (albeit with a 3 month gap). Buddy was kicking 3.3 goals/game the year prior.

Streets ahead still, which is fine because Buddy was a generational player in the truest sense of the word. As good as he's going there's just no way we could say JUH is tracking as ahead of him.

 

[flamethrower]

It was enjoyable for the fact that we attacked with purpose.
I'm pretty sure Richmond has put cue in the rack though. First half was witches hats with no name players.
Good easy kill. JOD, Poulter were good. Still concerned with Baz's form. Jones back is huge for us.

The way Richmond played early had more to do with coming off a really tough game against Melbourne, combined with a 5 day break and missing 3 key players in Cotchin, Martin and Grimes. They just couldn't keep up with our running game.

Coming off such a disappointing loss in Ballarat, I thought the boys would come out fired up, and ready to shop early - the Tiges just couldn't / wouldn't do the hard yards to match us. As a consequence, the result was a fait d'accompli by 1/4 time.

 

[maddog37]

Good to see the Tiggers taking their usual cheap shots. Knees in packs, head high and late contact when beaten for the ball.

Bunch of pricks.

 

[doggy_dog]

What a difference Jones makes. So important.

Marra could be the best forward in the game by 2025

 

[Al dente]

so nice to watch a game without any 'general shitness' from Gardy and Keath.

would much rather some of the rookie errors from JOD and Poulter (see Cumberland's snap goal. gets caught in between too much)

 

[Golden_6]

What a difference Jones makes. So important.

Marra could be the best forward in the game by 2025

Honestly it could be 2024. He’s 3rd in the league in marks inside 50 and 11th in total score involvements across the league. He just generates a significant amount of scores and scoring positions.

Marra isn’t just a mark and goal player either, he has a very well rounded forward game already. If he’s kicking 50-60 goals with the rest of his game, it puts him in the conversation.

Highlight of the night - Daniel outmarking Short one on one

Highlight of the night - Daniel outmarking Short one on one

Mark of the Year contender ......

Short came up short on the shortest man in the league

 

[BrisDog]

it’s reassuring seeing O’Donnell play so clean and composed, especially given his inexperience. Maybe our KPD stocks aren’t so bad long term

He has a lovely left foot on him. A very pleasant surprise.

 

[Dog 36]

Speaking to another supporter last night he commented on how many supporters say Bev can’t kick the ball for goal and how sone simple misses change the perception of his coaching and many say if we had kicked the easy goals etc etc we would be in a different situation but the same point is not afforded to Spangher

If JUH, Naughton and couple of others had a better conversion would we look upon Spangher forward coaching differently?

Thought was interesting point

Highlight of the night - Daniel outmarking Short one on one

I wonder what Daniel benches. The man is one hell of a unit

 

[MYOB]

Yes he kicked 5 last night, but who told JUH to change his kicking action. He doesn't take a long enough run up and he can't kick 40m.

He really needs to get back to his fluent action.
